Title: Gen 7.5 Wing fit on a Gen 7 Post by: theycallme_og on January 18, 2013, 03:22:27 PM Hey ECM,
I was researching and I did not find the info I was looking for. :( :question: Does anyone know if a 06-07 Sedan OEM Wing will fit on a 03-05 Sedan with a flush look like if it was meant for it? I was hoping someone had the time and money to give it a try. I am not sure about everyone else but I think the 06-07 wing is much more aggressive then the 03-07wing. Title: Re: Gen 7.5 Wing fit on a Gen 7 Post by: timot_one on January 18, 2013, 03:45:13 PM The wing spoiler or the lip spoiler? I think the lip spoiler would require a bunch of work to fit properly and look good. If it's the wing spoiler, it may be a direct fit or you may be able to get it to fit with some work. I don't know of anyone else that has done it yet, but you should be innovative and give it a try.

However, you have to take into account that the 03-05 wing has a built in third brake light while the 06-07 does not. You'd be blocking your third brake light.
As far as fitment goes, both trunks are relatively flat and the same on the top. Do what Tim said and go for it. Title: Re: Gen 7.5 Wing fit on a Gen 7 Post by: gargantula99 on January 18, 2013, 04:29:44 PM The lip spoiler wouldn't work at all. The top of the trunk has sort of a trapezoidal shape to it when looked in plan view. The angles run from the edge back to the rear window. The wing spoiler might work. Measurements would need to be taken, as the 7th gen is more rounded than a 7.5 gen.
Title: Re: Gen 7.5 Wing fit on a Gen 7 Post by: theycallme_og on January 18, 2013, 05:31:39 PM I am talking about the Wing Soiler, I am well aware that the lip spoiller will have no chance to work. 8-)
And good catch on the Third barke light being blocked. Title: Re: Gen 7.5 Wing fit on a Gen 7 Post by: theycallme_og on January 24, 2013, 03:21:14 PM Well I did some more reaserch and found this car on CarDomain, and it looks like Gen7.5 wing. But I message the owner to be 100% if it is, and maybe ask for better pics.

Title: Re: Gen 7.5 Wing fit on a Gen 7 Post by: HEcreated487 on January 24, 2013, 06:11:46 PM ^^ I agree with Nelson.
Title: Re: Gen 7.5 Wing fit on a Gen 7 Post by: theycallme_og on January 25, 2013, 12:31:24 AM Yeah same here.. I was hoping it would me more of a flow to it but it just doesn't look right...'oh we'll
So I guess now its between a gen7 lipspoiler or hybrid lip spoiler Title: Re: Gen 7.5 Wing fit on a Gen 7 Post by: CrackerTeg on January 25, 2013, 08:12:28 AM Go hybrid. Its much more subtle.
Title: Re: Gen 7.5 Wing fit on a Gen 7 Post by: HEcreated487 on January 25, 2013, 11:12:16 AM I like the OEM Gen 7.0 deck lid spoiler. Rooks rike riss.
(http://handa-accessories.com/accord/acc03reardeck.jpg) I think it's subtle. Pix of the Hybrid version? Title: Re: Gen 7.5 Wing fit on a Gen 7 Post by: CrackerTeg on January 25, 2013, 01:33:21 PM Google owns you Mike.

Title: Re: Gen 7.5 Wing fit on a Gen 7 Post by: HEcreated487 on January 25, 2013, 07:16:19 PM Damn, the hybrid version is pretty slick. Too bad I already have the OEM one :(
